create_project

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate this is a non-read-only, non-destructive operation, so the description does not need to repeat that. It adds the useful structural context that projects contain boards. However, it does not disclose whether organizationId is required, what happens if omitted, or any side effects or permission requirements, leaving some behavioral gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is just two short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the parenthetical definition adds meaningful context without unnecessary verbosity. Every word earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple creation tool with no output schema, the description gives a clear conceptual model but omits parameter semantics and explicit usage guidance. It is minimally adequate but leaves an agent to infer prerequisites like organization association or whether additional parent resources are needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation of the 'name', 'description', or 'organizationId' parameters. While the parameter names are intuitive, the description does nothing to clarify their semantics or relationships (e.g., whether organizationId is needed or how name uniqueness works), so it fails to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('project'), and defines what a project is in domain terms ('business process container'). The clarifying clause 'Boards with data live inside projects' clearly differentiates this from sibling tools like create_board, so an agent can understand its role at a glance.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies that projects are a prerequisite for boards, so an agent can infer when to use this tool, but it does not explicitly state when to choose it over alternatives or mention any preconditions such as requiring an organization. There is no explicit when/when-not guidance beyond the container relationship.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
